Hi,

I’m trying to find a way to have my iPhone’s photos be automatically (or even manually) backed up/synced with my home server.

I heard about photo prism here and got it up and running, however I could not find a free app that lets you sync. Photo sync is their main recommendation and it puts high quality photo backup behind premium.

Is there any solution that lets you backup your photos through home wifi?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks to the suggestions, I found this handy chart listing many and comparing them: https://meichthys.github.io/foss_photo_libraries/

    I’ve been using Ente Photos, and PhotoPrism and I’ve been liking Ente pretty well. Little bit more work to get things setup and going but I’ve been enjoying it for the last few months

      What low-effort app do you recommended? I hate messing around with networking stuff, but I’m willing to build a home server, if that means I can finally get away from Google Photos. It must have HEIC support and a “memories” feature (where it automatically creates albums sends me notifications about what it wants to show me).

        Probably be Ente even if it does take a little bit to configure it and get a web UI and stuff. PhotoPrism was easy for me to get up and running with Proxmox and the great community scripts to setup a container but having to have photosync is a drawback I don’t care much for.

        I believe both have something to like a memories feature
